The health club manager who overseas the rooftop cafe is incredibly rude. Instead of apologizing for the cafe not having any change (I only needed 10 pounds after paying with a 50 pound bill for a drink), he argued that guests who go to the cafe charge the bill to their room. I told him that if you take customers'... More

We had originally planned to stay most of our time in Cairo at the Novotel. The location in Zamalek, just across the bridge from the Egyptian Antiquities Museum is excellent while being just far enough from the protests to help us feel secure.

I stayed at the Novotel for 5 nights and really enjoyed my stay, I would definitely stay there again. As I have been to Cairo many times I opted for a cheaper city view room on the 3rd floor, you can get a fabulous Nile view from the roof if you want one. My room was a non-smoking room with... More
